Well, have you seen 100,000 people in front of you. I haven't, but I'd imagine 1-300,000 would seem like a helluva lot

damn..
it's very hard to have a spartan-like body
it's very hard to have a spartan-like body
I'm not even sure how to answer that...Possessing one? Or "having" one?
All I know is guys wish they could have a Spartan-like body like mine...oh, yeah. It's sexy.

Thank you. It was brought to my attention that y'all might not realize that I was being funny, so I had to come on here to announce to the world that NO, I don't REALLY have a Spartan-like body, and if I did, it would most decidedly NOT be sexy. :roll:
Sexiness is merely a byproduct of the Spartan body. Sort of ironic that a body made for killing inspires thoughts of pro-creation.

My best friend, who enjoys these kinda movies just as much as me, said this was kinda stupid.. He thought for sure Id have had it by now, but Im glad I didnt.. Said the ending was stupid.. And we pretty much like all the same type of movies, so I guess I wont be seeing this for a long time..

Don't take on person's opinion when seeing a movie.
I have yet to see this movie.

Although I love the history (historicity?) of it.

That's Mr. Riff-Raff to you!
Just saw it last night for the first time. Visually it was stunning, and it really stayed true to the Frank Miller Graphic novel. Which was a bit of it's dowfall for me. At times it just came off as way too outlandish.
Story-wise I never really got into to it. There was a lot of "Wow!" factor in the fight scenes, and the special effects were cool, but I really never identified with the charaters whatsoever...it just plodded along (story-wise) until the forgone conclusion.
The found the History Channel special about the Battle of Thermopylae much more interesting.
3 out 5 stars

You have to watch this. You have to.
Ok, so Im watching this.. I think Im half way thru itt. I hope I am cuz there is no fight scenes yet just a bunch of flaming soap opera crap going on.. I gotta tell ya, this is the most epic over dramatizing film Ive ever seen.. I hope it pics up or Imma use this disc as a chinese star ..
Ok, I couldnt take no more.. Right when I saw the crab armed dude I turned it off.. I had no idea what was going on.. They blurred so many lines... And the constant gay shakespere talk lost me.. There was no point to that movie, and not enuff fighting..
waste of money...
waste of money...
If someone want me to send this 300 movie to them let me know.. I dont want it..

Definitely to each his own. If Gee likes to be entertained at the movies, and was not entertained by this one, I don't think I'd ever watch another movie again.

Go Cardinals! Yay!!!
Amen! The actual Battle of Thermopaylae is an incredible story and hopefully someone does a better job telling it onscreen sometime (maybe w/ an adaptation of Gates of Fire?)
I should preface my comments by admitting that I am a history buff and could not get past how many liberties they took with this movie. I know this is a graphic novel adaptation and not a historical epic, but it was too much for me.
I also could not get into the battle scenes at all. I'm admittedly not a fan of slow motion so I think I was doomed to hate this movie, but the constant slow motion was just overkill to me. Mixed with the wannabe-hip soundtrack it was more humorous to me than anything else.
Also, the gore didn't work for me. I will always prefer prosthetic effects to CGI. Plus everyone kept telling me that this was such a bloody movie but since it was all digitized there wasn't ever a drop of blood on the ground. It's a little thing, but one of those inconsistencies that I couldn't let go of.
I have absolutely no hope for The Watchmen now after hearing that this guy is directing it.
